What is Ecology?

Do you know… what is Ecology?

In this What is Ecology video, you’ll learn what ecology is and more specifically, what is coral reef ecology.

Ecology explores living things, plus the way they interact with one another, and their physical surroundings. A coral reef is a very special type of home, it provides nourishment and shelter to an amazing range of living creatures. They interact with non-living things like rocks and sand, ocean currents, temperature, and much more. A vast web of living and non-living things makes up the ecology of coral reefs.
